Chapter 475 I was afraid he would misunderstand
"We arrived too late. The demonic energy can no longer be tracked here."
Li Chu pursued the remaining traces of evil spirit, traced all the way out of Jinque Kingdom, and came to the endless yellow sand, where he lost his guidance for a while.
There are strong winds and endless yellow sand here, and the ancient and desolate majestic atmosphere envelops everything, and the faint evil aura can no longer be distinguished.
"But it doesn't look like any living creature can survive here?" Lao Du said.
Even monsters need soil to survive. Where there are no living things, there must be no monsters.
"It's not impossible to survive in the desert..." Li Chu looked down at his feet, then looked up at the sky, "It's just that the creatures here are all in less obvious places."
"Oh!" Lao Du pounded his hands, "Yes, underground or in the sky! But... where should I look for it?"
"You can ask someone." Li Chu said.
"Looking for someone to ask?" Lao Du was stunned, not understanding what he meant. Looking around, where did the person come from?
Li Chu did not answer, but waited quietly. After a moment, a sharp horn suddenly sounded above his head.
"There is an evil spirit!" Li Chu's eyes suddenly became sharp, and then he raised his hand and pointed.
Whoosh——
The Chunyang Sword was instantly unsheathed, transformed into a flaming meteor that shot into the sky and passed by in a flash.
The howling in the air stopped abruptly and turned into a scream.
"ah--"
Plop! A huge flying bird was startled and fell to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.
When the smoke and dust cleared, the two men moved closer and saw a huge sand pit on the ground. In the pit lay a large bird with a human body and wings. It was an incompletely transformed little demon.
Seeing two men in Taoist robes standing by the pit and staring at him, the birdman was immediately startled, woke up, turned over, and immediately knelt in the pit.
"My two great immortals! I have no intention of offending you. I was just passing by carelessly and was startled by your flying sword and fell down accidentally. I deserve to be put to death for disturbing your peace. Please let me go!" He came up and started begging.
"Please stand up quickly." Li Chu said, "Actually, I just blocked your way intentionally. I just wanted to find out something."
"Ask about something?" The birdman blinked.
Looking at Li Chuyun's calm face and then at the sword behind him, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Good fellow, you call this snooping? This is clearly an attempted bird killing.
But that sword obviously had a deterrent effect, and the birdman immediately showed a warm smile.
"Master, if you have anything you want to know, just ask me. I will tell you everything I know."
Li Chu nodded and said, "We are new here, and one of our companions was captured by a monster. He was taken away from Jinque Country by a ball of black wind. I followed the monster all the way here, and happened to see you appear here..."
"God, please forgive me!" The birdman suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Master, catching people has nothing to do with me! I am just a simple and kind-hearted fool. I usually catch some wild rabbits to have a good meal, but I would never dare to think of eating people..."
"I know that the demonic energy is different from yours." Li Chu said, "I just want to ask, who are the biggest demon kings within a few hundred miles."
He thought clearly that it was not easy for a monster to sneak into Jinque Country and capture living people. It had to be at least a monster king. And there probably wouldn't be many monster kings that could be raised in these hundreds of miles of yellow sand.
The sand sculpture spirit heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then quickly replied: "You two Taoist priests, you don't know that this 300-li radius of yellow sand is the territory of the two demon kings, Golden Hook and Silver Hook, in the Yellow Sand Cave."
Fearing that he had not explained it in detail, he added: "These two demon kings are both sand scorpion spirits. They are very powerful and usually eat countless people. If you lose someone in this area, you can't go wrong by looking for them."
"Golden hook, silver hook..." Li Chu murmured, "We must find the master as soon as possible. We don't know what kind of suffering they are going through now. If it's too late, the consequences will be disastrous."
When he mentioned that his master was suffering, Lao Du's ears suddenly moved, as if he remembered some miserable past events...
He couldn't help scratching his head and whispered, "Suffering? Not necessarily..."
…
"Bao, you must have had a hard time these years without me, right?"
Yu Qian'an held Queen Mingyan's hand, sat with her on the dragon throne in the inner hall of the imperial palace, and asked in a gentle voice.
"Baby, it's actually okay. Apart from the heart-wrenching longing for you, there's nothing more painful than this." Queen Mingyan replied.
"Bao, tell me how you have been living these years." Yu Qian'an said.
"Bao, it's all thanks to the jade pendant you left for me." Queen Mingyan took out a warm jade pendant from her arms.
"Because it was a token of love you gave me, I always carried it with me. I never thought that since then, my practice would be twice as effective with half the effort, and I would make rapid progress, and suddenly I became the most talented female practitioner in the Kingdom of Jinque. Only then was I noticed by the king and chosen to enter the palace to become the queen. After a few years, a senior master told me that this was the legendary Tianxin Jade, a priceless treasure with no more than three pieces in the world. Wearing it for practice is like divine help, and it can turn ordinary people into geniuses of the world... At that moment, I realized how much you loved me, and even gave me such a precious thing."
"Baby, there is no distinction between you and me between us. I have given you all my heart, and nothing is more precious than this." Yu Qian'an didn't even look at the jade pendant and shook his head indifferently.
"Bao, is that so? Do you still keep the token of love I gave you?" asked Queen Mingyan.
"Baby, this is natural. I have nothing to do now, but I have to take it out to play with it to miss you, my beloved." Yu Qian'an said.
"Bao, wasn't the token of trust I gave you a little rabbit? So many years have passed, and it's still alive?" Queen Mingyan wondered.
"Bao, it's a rabbit... That's right!" Yu Qian'an turned his eyes and said, "I found a companion for it, and it gave birth to many little rabbits, generation after generation. The ones I'm playing with now... are already its offspring. I think, since we can't stay together forever, it's better to let it be happy for us."
"Bao, you really love me." Queen Mingyan's eyes were filled with tears.
“…”
Your Highness, the little koi has fallen asleep while sitting.
Wang Longqi forced his hands to prop up his eyelids, his eyes were bloodshot and had dark circles under them, but he still listened to the conversation without missing a word, for fear of missing any knowledge points.
My inner admiration for Yu Qian'an is about to overflow.
The old Taoist priest could actually keep up the output of love words for a whole night without slacking off at all, which is really a role model for us. If it were me, I could still hold on in the first half of the night, but I would probably show signs of fatigue in the second half.
While he was studying, a palace maid came up to him and said, "Empress, the Imperial Master wants to see you."
"How annoying..." Queen Mingyan turned her head and said, "Bao, wait a moment, I'll go take care of something and come back to see you."
"Baby, I can wait for you forever."
…
Master Xie Ding, who had not slept for a whole night and looked extremely haggard, couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Queen Mingyan, who had also not slept for a whole night but looked radiant.
He hurriedly said, "Queen, don't forget that those two people are with the Koi. If we want to put the Koi into the Fortune Golden Pond, we must deal with them."
"Yes, I have thought about this question as well." Queen Mingyan said calmly, "So I decided not to take this koi."
"Empress!" Master Xie Ding said anxiously, "State affairs are more important, Empress."
"I have my own plans. Let's not mention this matter again. I'm not arguing with you because I'm considering the hard work and great contributions of the Imperial Master over the years." Queen Mingyan frowned slightly.
After a pause, she continued, "Also, from now on, if you don't have anything to say, just let your disciple pass on the message. You don't have to come to the palace to find me... I'm afraid he will misunderstand."
"Clam?"
Master Xie Ding's body trembled, and he felt a cold wind blowing in the scorching summer of June, and a basin of ice water poured down his bald head into his spine, chilling him to the bone.
He was so distraught that he didn't know how to walk out of the hall, and then he came to his senses.
It was as if the world was collapsing, goose feathers were falling, snowflakes were fluttering, and the north wind was howling...
He looked up at the sky and shouted in despair: "No——"
